overfilling and is located in the left front

corner of the tub.

• Clean occasionally with household cleaner

containing vinegar or bleach to dissolve any

buildup.

• Overfill Protector

down freely about

one inch. If it does

not move, lift and

clean underneath.

Care of Drain Air Gap

If a drain air gap was installed for your built-in

dishwasher, check to make sure it is clean so

the dishwasher will drain properly. A drain air

gap is usually mounted on countertop and

can be inspected by removing the cover. This is

not part of your dishwasher and is not covered

by warranty.

Note: Hard water may cause lime deposit

buildup on the interior of the dishwasher. For

cleaning instructions see “Removing Spots and

Film” section.

Outside

—Occasionally wipe with a mild

nonabrasive detergent and water. Rinse and

dry.

Inside

—

The inside of the dishwasher is self-

cleaning with normal use. If needed, clean

around the tub gasket area with a damp cloth.
The filter is self-cleaning. A glass trap located

in the center of the filter is designed to collect

pieces of broken glass, straws, bones and pits.

To remove items in glass trap, grasp handle,

lift out, empty and replace.
